When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 580: The Pros and Cons of Nichi

Greylin's star rating also follows the usual rules, with the main levels being two stars and full stars.

The improvement in the two-star stats was already very good, and now that Greylin's basic stats have been greatly enhanced, the improvement is even better.

However, unlike other characters, Greylin's three stars are also very attractive.

Three stars usually means a small change in mechanism or improvement in comfort, or making the operation more brainless, or unlocking team matching.

For other characters, three stars are not particularly important, because the values ​​are not particularly different from two stars, and the change in comfort does not matter. The worst that can happen is a few more operations.

But Grayling's situation is different.

Because his three stars can enhance the dominance and damage reduction effects.

Originally, Greylin would have a small overlord and damage reduction effect in the torrent state, but this overlord was only the lowest level of anti-interruption, that is, ordinary attacks would be fine, but a slightly stronger collision skill could interrupt his torrent state, and it needed to be released again.

That's not so comfortable.

The three-star effect will further enhance the dominance and damage reduction effects, making Greylin truly brainless. As long as he holds down the attack key, he can ignore all attacks and clear the screen.

Of course, this is based on reasonable equipment and team composition.

It seems that Graylin's two-star and three-star levels have improved significantly!
Although many people have gotten into the permanent pool before, many of them only got one or two Greylins.

So they can only look at their sporadic or one-star Greylins and sigh in despair.

It would be great if this was a Samsung!

It's really crooked!

There were even many people who drew from the current UP pool. They originally wanted to get Liar Hunter or Xie Gu, but ended up getting Greylin instead and smashed the table on the spot.

I'm not angry, I'm happy.

Because Wai Graylin is more worthwhile than drawing these two UP characters!
Many wealthy players would like to spend money to draw it, but there is no way, this thing can't be drawn by just spending money!

Because Greylin is a permanent character, he will not enter the UP pool.

If you want to draw from the permanent pool, since there are many other permanent characters in the pool and you can't set a track, the probability of drawing Greylin is actually very low.

If you spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars and all the other characters appear, but not a single Greylin, that would be a very normal situation.

All I can say is that some are happy while others are sad.

The enhancement of Greylin has caused a very strange phenomenon in "Endless Fantasy Tales 2". Players don't even think it's a bad thing to have a permanent crooked character. Of course, the premise is that they can get Greylin.

A crooked Grayling is even more exciting than double gold.

Of course, there are also many krypton players who protested: Can a character as strong as Greylin be released in a UP pool? I have money!

But it is obvious that this voice will never get a response from Against Heaven.

……

On the forum, players started a heated discussion about the card drawing mechanism of Against the Heaven.

Since this mechanism is different from that of other card drawing games, players naturally refer to it as "Ni Chi", which means "the card pool against heaven".

It has three main features:
The first is to artificially set the European and African cycles, which are roughly 1000 draws per cycle. It will be biased towards Europe at the beginning, but will become non-European later.

The second is that the weak characters will be strengthened regularly. Even if the weak character itself is a permanent pool character rather than a UP pool character, it will still be strengthened, and the degree of strengthening will be considerable.

Third, the UP pool characters have obvious lags. During the UP period, the two UP characters are likely to perform poorly or even be suppressed by the current environment. It is not until one or two versions later that the characters may encounter an environment that is favorable to them. The UP characters of other games are basically forced to rise due to the current environment.

Judging from these three differences, it is indeed very different from the traditional card pool.

As for whether the "reverse pool" is better or worse than the traditional card pool, players are arguing fiercely and it is difficult to reach a consensus.

In fact, this controversy has existed since the first day the game was launched, but with the enhancement of Greylin, this controversy has once again reached its peak.

"I just don't understand why people are still washing in the reverse pool. This is a completely rubbish design. It's absolutely disgusting. Is there any need to discuss such a clear issue?"

"The European and African cycles were designed by humans, right? Drawing cards is a game of luck. Do you think it's cool to do the European and African cycles and not get a UP character after more than a hundred draws?"

"That's right. This is the first time I've seen a game that doesn't promote characters in the UP pool in the current environment. I spent money! I can't even feel happy when I draw a new character. I have to wait for one or two versions. What's the logic?"

"The most outrageous thing is that they inexplicably enhanced the characters in the permanent pool. The key is that it is difficult for me to draw a Greylin. I am speechless!"

There are quite a few players who are against the reverse pool, which is normal. After all, Lilith created this card pool to disgust players from the beginning.

Whether it is the cyclical design of Europe first and Africa later, or the fact that the current UP characters must be targeted by the environment, these were all designed from the beginning, with the purpose of collecting players' negative emotions.

but……

No matter how well a thing is planned, it may not always develop according to the plan, and accidents will always happen.

At this time, the opinions of another part of the players were unexpected.

For example, a player’s post was pushed to the front page of the forum and received many likes.

“I’ve seen many people criticize the pool, but I think the design of this pool is really good!

"We should not look at the problem in isolation. If we take out every setting of Ni Chi, it will make people feel that it is against the will of heaven and that it is deliberately disgusting. But what if we look at it as a whole?

“You know, the card pools of other games have always had a chronic problem that is difficult to solve, that is, the characters do not retain their value.

"If characters don't retain their value, a series of problems will arise, such as 'odd characters are not worth it', 'character fans become version rebels', and 'new characters cost old characters gold'.

“Although many players have gotten used to this setting, the same old saying still applies: it has always been this way, does that mean it is right?
"Generally speaking, when a manufacturer releases a new character from the UP pool, they want players to draw it, so that the manufacturer can earn income. In order to make players happy to draw, in addition to XP, the character must have good enough stats and a comfortable environment.

“So when a UP pool is updated, the game will launch enemies that are restrained by this character, so that players can have as much fun as possible.

“At first glance, this is great, and players are happy to spend money to draw UP characters, but think carefully, what problems will this bring?
“First, it’s inevitable that old characters will be ‘exploded’.

“Because in order for players to draw new characters, the new characters must be significantly stronger than the old characters. Then the characters drawn by players will never maintain their value. They will always be outsold by the newer characters. It’s just a matter of time.

"Secondly, characters in the permanent pool and old characters from previous versions can never be enhanced. Because enhancing old characters is equivalent to exploding the gold coins of new characters. How can we sell new characters?

"Then add in the 50% chance of getting a wrong character, which means that once a player gets a wrong character, it means that 648 or even more money has been wasted, and the character in the permanent pool will never have a chance to play.

"If you want to have fun, the best solution for players is to become a power player. Only draw the strongest characters, because the strongest characters can maintain their value longer.

"For XP players, it will inevitably seriously sacrifice their gaming experience. After all, if your XP is that of a weak character, he will most likely be weak for life.

“But this card pool of Against the Heaven has really solved this problem, so that everyone no longer has level anxiety and can play according to their own XP with peace of mind!
"Because everyone knows that even weak characters will definitely be strengthened in the future. XP parties have always been sticking to weak characters, and when they are strengthened, the joy they feel is indescribable.

“And the fact that the UP pool was targeted by the environment is also a great merit.

"Because this is the official way of dissuading you from recharging blindly! Only if you really like this character, you should pay for it.

“In this mode, it doesn’t matter if there are crooked permanents, because these permanents will also be strengthened in the future, just like Graylin this time.

“Of course, this card pool of Against the Heaven will inevitably have the problem of numerical inflation.

"After all, if it is only strengthened and not weakened, numerical expansion is inevitable.

"But the stats in other games are also inflated, right? Since we are going to release new characters and give them stats, then they will inevitably inflate.

“Comparatively speaking, the card pool of Against the Heaven is more friendly, because the permanent pool will also be strengthened, and novice players can also kill with the characters in the permanent pool.

“If it were in other games, a novice player would have a hard time even completing the main storyline if they were using a character from the permanent pool.

“This is clearly a huge concession from the authorities to the players, why don’t people understand?

“Besides that, there is the issue of the European and African cycles, which I think can also be adapted.

“Because the comprehensive probability of drawing cards is this much, regardless of whether there is a European and African cycle, the output within a thousand draws is similar for the reverse pool and other pools.

"Other pools don't have a lucky or unlucky cycle. Every time you draw a card, you're not sure whether you'll be lucky or unlucky. This is certainly more exciting, but it also makes it more difficult for players to plan their draws.

“Sometimes players estimate according to normal probability, but the draw is very unlucky, resulting in them missing the star level they want by dozens of draws, and they have no choice but to recharge.

“But with the existence of the European and African cycle of the Reverse Pool, everyone can make better card drawing plans, and can also draw five-star characters and four-star characters separately!
"When we are in a relatively lucky cycle, we will draw the five-star characters that we are more satisfied with, because the delivery rate is high; when we are in a relatively lucky cycle, we will draw the four-star characters that we want, because the delivery rate of four-star characters is not affected, and we can also get through the relatively lucky cycle.

“In short, although this European and African cycle setting feels uncomfortable at first, it’s actually not a scam after getting used to it, right?
“Some people also said that the shipment rate of Nichi is slightly lower than that of other games.

“Yes, I don’t deny it, after all, the real data is here.

"But everyone, please note: first, the characters in Nichi are full five stars, not six stars, so the number of draws required is less than in other games. Secondly, a 64 in Nichi is about 80 draws, which is more cost-effective than many other card drawing games. Finally, the permanent pool of Nichi is also valuable, so even if you get a permanent pool, it is not a waste of money. This character will definitely be useful in the future.

"So overall, I think the reverse pool mode is not bad! I even think it is more friendly to ordinary players!"
